but the easiest way for terrorists to get into the united states may well be across the nation's porous 2,000-mile border with mexico. and it's no secret. u.s. immigration and customs enforcement investigations have revealed that hundreds of immigrants from the middle east and countries associated with terrorism have entered the country illegally through mexico. and according to a study done for the border patrol, about 90% of the people who try to get into the country that way eventually make it in. president clinton built a wall to try and stop it, and president bush tried to tackle the problem with technology, initiating an ambitious program that he called a "virtual fence," that would allow the u.s. to visually monitor most of the border. the bureaucrats at homeland security changed the name of the program to the secure border initiative network, or s.b.i. net, and after three years and a billion dollars, we decided to see how it was going. this 80-foot tower near sasabe, arizona, is just one of a network of electronic observation posts that dot the landscape along the mexican borde
